Who: Betty and Dallas
What: Discussing Betty's minor freak out.
When: Earlier in the day, Thursday.
Where: Phone!
-riiiiiiiiiiing ring-
"Hey, Dallas!"
"Hey, darlin'. How you doin?"
-a small snort- "I'm okay. Bouncing back from a very weird, all too sober night. You?"
"Me, I'm fine. How weird?"
"... Well. Okay. You cannot laugh. But. I did something really dumb. And embarrassing. Highly, embarrassing. I swear to god, I don't know what got into me."
"Let me guess....you called Phin, screamed at him a little, then hung up the phone?"
-a very long pause- "How the hell do you know that?!"
"You scared the crap out of him. He had to tell someone."
"Oh my god. Okay. More embarrassed now. If it's possible to die of embarrassment, I think I'm about to... Shit, how much did I freak him out? I swear I was almost hoping that had been a dream and I hadn't actually called him..."
"He seemed kinda worried that you were having some kinda fit. So you are okay?"
-a sigh- "Yes. Yes I'm okay. I mean, nothing happened to me, really. I just... uh. It's possible Robin and I had a mini melt down. I don't know what I was thinking."
"Mmmhm." -sound of a cigarette lighting- "You wanna talk about it?"
"Oh god." -an awkward laugh- "Alright. Well, first of all, next time you talk to him please tell him I'm sorry. And, yeah, okay... I was watching more of the show last night. And... I got to the last episode, of the second season? I can't really explain what happened exactly, but... the minute I saw Marian get stabbed, something... snapped. In Robin. In me. It didn't even register what I was doing until Phin had already picked up the phone. So. I watched Marian get run through with a sword and then I screamed at Phin. I'm a total fucking nut case."
"I see, I see. Yeah, that makes more sense. Trust me, I know what it's like not to be able to separate that stuff. You're not a nut case. You're...a regular reincarnate?"
"That's... reassuring. I think. Still. So embarrassing. I've never lost it like that before, I feel like I partially blacked out or something. Poor Phin. Something in me was just telling me to make sure he was alive... that was probably Robin, now that I think about it. Poor Robin too, he shouldn't have had to see that again."
"It sucks, having our whole life stories laid out on DVD. I think Phin was more worried about you than anything, though, so no reason to be embarrassed. It happens to the best of us?"
"Yeah. True. And at least I was screaming at him in a good way? ... God he's so better off without me. Ugh. Hey, I've gotta run to work. Wanna get a drink later? If you don't come with me I may end up going on a shooting spree."
"Sure. I'll catch you later, Betty."
"Cool and thanks for calling. Tell him I'm sorry. Bye, Dal."
"Will do. Bye!"
